Welcome to Our Church
LOVING GOD & LOVING OTHERS
HISTORY
Believing in God’s Word and Spirit
Burra Baptist Church has been active here in Burra Isle for two hundred years. We have a rich heritage in every way and are blessed to be located in such a beautiful part of God’s Creation.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Moulding believers, influencing the world
As Baptists we believe in the truths expressed in the historic creeds of the Church. We lay a particular emphasis on the importance of personal faith in Jesus Christ, as Saviour and Lord, and on the Bible as God’s Word, guiding our conduct as individuals and as a Church.
GATHERINGS
Moulding believers, influencing the world
Our gatherings cater for all ages and tastes, with variety in worship styles to suit this.
As a Baptist Church one of our distinctive features is our practice of Christian baptism. We follow the New Testament pattern of baptising by total immersion those who have come to personal faith in Jesus Christ.
CHURCH MODEL
Moulding believers, influencing the world
As Baptists we also lay stress on the responsibility of each local church to govern its own life and affairs. Burra Baptist Church has approximately 45 members, plus about another 60 that regularly attend.
We desire that all members should be encouraged and given opportunity to use their God-given gifts and talents.
We actively support ventures and activities in the church that help and support our community.
We have a keen interest in mission work with regular visits from the representatives of various mission organisations including BMS World Mission.
Burra Baptist Church is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) – SC050936
